Corrie's Catherine Tyldesley confirms Eva's return as Rovers barmaid

Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley has confirmed that her character Eva Price will return to The Rovers Return as a barmaid.

Eva previously worked in the pub from 2011 to 2013 before taking up a position at the Underworld factory.

Discussing her character's return behind the bar, Tyldesley told The Sun 's Fabulous magazine: "I feel that Eva belongs in The Rovers. She's perfect for that type of environment."

The actress also addressed speculation regarding her salary. It was reported last month that Tyldesley had signed on for another year on a deal that would see her earn more than £100,000.

Tyldesley clarified: "I wish that was true, but no, it's not!

"But the fact that they've signed me again makes me feel honoured that they've got that faith in me."

Last September, Tyldesley shared with ITV's Loose Women that she loves filming the soap, and hopes to stick around for a long time.

"I'm still completely in love with it," she said at the time. "I adore it. I'm so happy.

"You're discovering new things all the time. A lot of the time we are left to our own devices, and then other times the writers give us amazing pointers. It's such a journey. It's so nice to be playing a character for such a long time. I'm loving it." Get the Inside Soap magazine on your iPhone or iPad
